What it is and how we handle it
Dormant status suits companies that want to keep their name, registration or an asset but have no current operations — unlike strike-off, which ends the company. It isn't available to companies with outstanding public deposits, unpaid loans, pending tax or investigations, or listed securities.
The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026 had halved the MSC-1 fee for defaulting companies, but it closed on 31 August 2026, so normal fees apply now. Overdue filings must still be cleared before applying.
